I used to be really into body weight fitness (actually need to start it back up again). However, they still recommend most people get weights and a set of plates because there are very limited options when it comes to doing leg exercises.

- chevill 5y agoI've been trying off and on to work on doing pistols. I think the primary reason people suggest a set of weights and a traditional weightlifting leg routine is because its pretty difficult to develop the strength and balance to do pistols even without weight. I got to the point where I was doing squats with an 80lb weight vest and holding another 70+ pounds of kettlebells and I still wasn't anywhere near strong enough to do unweighted pistols. Gonna keep trying though.
